* Because they weren't motorised they were exempt from taxi licensing - I think the council required them to have street trader's licences under the Scottish legislation.

Down here they are illegal outside of London, confirmed by the Cambridge judgement many years ago.

So the stuff ManCityFan posted earlier said the Cambridge judgement meant they could be licensed as HCs? :-o

And that's presumably what Lancaster Council is saying about plating them there? :shock:

Indeed, they are not able to work in the same way as they do in London, praise the Lord.

But they can be licensed as hackneys by any daft council that chooses to.

Another major clanger from Councillor Short :-o

This time she's essentially claiming that if you think the recently convicted rapist below shouldn't be in a women's jail because all he's doing is wearing a wig to cover his tatts, then your opinion is akin to what culminated in Auschwitz. Or something like that :-s

It is quite interesting to watch certain groups tie themselves in knots over transgender issues.

From what I've read and heard the majority of folks in the transgender community would wish some people would just shut the f*** up and leave them alone to lead their lives in peace and quiet.
